Nominee #7: Medical

Teams International

Medical Teams is on the frontlines aiding Rohingya refugees who've survived an ethnic cleansing, witnessed horrific torture and killings of their loved ones, and have escaped into Bangladesh. Medical Teams International is working in the camps which are in the worst conditions many humanitarian workers have ever seen. Volunteer doctors, nurses, Medical Teams staff and local Bangladesh recruited staff are operating mobile medical units, diarrheal management centers (diarrhea and cholera can kill a young child in a few days), and empowering refugees with vital health information so they can share it with their neighbors. Through it all, Medical Teams mission is to dare to love like Jesus. The genocide against the Rohingyas is horrific and I'm proud we have a Northwest based organization responding!
